WoW! Can’t think of a better word at this moment. Thank you Joe for showing us beauty in a superlative manner. I noticed that you used the Fuji X-30 and smiled. I own one too, but it doesn’t know as much photography as yours. 🙂

Thank you very much Omar 🙂 I shot this image in a greenhouse (Planting Fields Arboretum) on a slightly overcast day so the lighting was nice and even with no shadows. The X30’s are quick learners Omar 🙂 I usually shoot in aperture priority mode so I can control the depth of field and use the exposure compensation dial to get my desired “look” in the image. I find that underexposing the image by -1/3 to -2/3 of a stop usually gives me my desired effect.
